    "I find Maya leaned up against a flowerbed, clasping a canned beverage and staring off at the sky- likely wondering when I’m going to get here."
    "Little does she know, I’m right beside her."

    m "Quicker than usual this time."

    "Or she already knows and was just trying to look cool."

    s "Was I?"
    s "I don’t even really remember the trip here, to be honest."

    scene picnicinspace2
    with dissolve

    m "That’s to be expected."
    m "I was the same way the first...however many times it took for me to become comfortable with it."
    m "It’s not really possible to give you an exact number on account of me...not remembering those times."
    s "And the picnic?"

    scene picnicinspace3
    with dissolve

    m "A little present, I suppose."
    m "To congratulate you on making it where no other Sensei has ever made it before."
    m "It’s quite cold up here in the winter, isn’t it?"
    s "Why prepare a picnic if you didn’t know how long I was going to be, though?"
    m "I figured I could just eat everything myself if you didn’t show up within a reasonable amount of time."
    m "I’m slightly disappointed that you did, now that I’m actually thinking about it."
    m "But, on the bright side, we can get food wherever we want on account of everyone else being gone."
    s "I’d suggest taking a trip to the maid cafe before things start to go down, but I just don’t think it would be the same without the flavor beam."

    scene picnicinspace4
    with dissolve

    m "I can guarantee you that the flavor beam does not make even a tenth of the impact you think it does."
    s "But that implies it does make {i}some{/i} difference."
    m "It’s a beam of flavor. Of course there will be some difference."
    s "Do you want me to try beaming the food?"
    m "Is this how things are going to be tonight? Because if it’s just going to be a party, we might as well get the reset out of the way now."
    s "Hey, you’re the one who laid out food and made it a special occasion. I’m just trying to have a good time."
    m "Well then at least sit down. There’s more than enough room on the blanket for the two of us."

    if bonus == True:
        s "I think I’d prefer being {i}under{/i} the blanket with-"
        m "Five more seconds and I’m eating everything myself."

    scene black

    "I walk past Maya, avoiding a trash can and bringing myself closer to the ground to take a spot on the blanket."
    "It’s-"

    scene picnicinspace5
    with dissolve

    s "Wait, did you get this blanket from my house?"
    m "…"
    m "Possibly."
    s "Are we going to get it back? I think Ami really likes this blanket."
    m "Possibly."
    m "I’ve never brought a blanket to the apocalypse before."
    m "I suppose we’ll just have to see how things pan out."
    s "You could have just brought your own blanket."
    m "Why would I do that if there was a chance I wouldn’t get it back?"
    s "Maya...are you actually a bad person?"
    m "Please. You are the last person I want to hear something like that from."
    m "Now, are you going to eat? Or are you just going to sit here and ask me questions about blankets for the next several hours?"
    s "I’m not really hungry."
    m "…"
    s "Also, why are you hugging a watermelon?"
    m "It’s a good melon."
    m "Can we talk about the world now?"
    s "That’s such a Maya thing to say."

    scene picnicinspace6
    with dissolve

    m "I’m glad that you’re still here, but I have to say that I really wouldn’t mind if you’d lose the snarky pokes at how predictable I am under certain pretenses."
    s "That’s the closest you’ve ever come to saying you love me."
    m "I’m trying to be serious here."

    scene picnicinspace7
    with dissolve

    m "I have absolutely no idea what’s going to happen after tonight."
    m "Maybe we’ll get ten more students. Maybe {i}our{/i}[school] will fall into an inexplicable sinkhole."
    m "There’s no way of knowing."
    s "I wouldn’t mind ten more students, but I highly doubt we’d be able to fit them into the classroom."
    m "I’d like to formally urge you to {i}not{/i} think about things like that for now and, instead, think about what you’re going to do if something goes wrong with someone you already know."
    s "What do you mean?"

    "Maya stops talking for a moment and takes a bite out of a slice of pre-cut watermelon."
    "She washes it down with a quarter-bottle of green tea before finally speaking again."

    m "We’ve talked before about what you’d do if {i}I{/i} were to suddenly undergo a dramatic change, correct?"
    s "I think so. About whether or not you’d still be the same person afterward and all of that."
    m "Right."
    s "Do you think that’s going to happen?"
    m "I don’t know what’s going to happen. I already told you that."
    m "But I do know that there have been several times as of late where I’ve been forced to recall certain things that I’d much prefer to stay buried."
    s "Like what?"
    m "Well, Noriko’s presence drudges up a number of bad memories, as I’m sure you've ascertained."
    m "But there was another occurrence recently, during the test of courage to be specific, that made me come to terms with my existence not being as permanent as it may have seemed."
    s "During the dorm war?"
    s "I wasn’t around for your contest, so I don’t really know how it went."
    m "And I’m not going to {i}tell{/i} you how it went as it would only further complicate things."
    s "That sounds rough considering how complicated things already are."

    scene picnicinspace8
    with dissolve

    m "It does, doesn’t it?"
    m "Don’t get me wrong, I’d much prefer to remain exactly where I am."
    m "I’m not very fond of the concept of just...not existing."
    m "So, when we do this tonight, I’m going back to the original method of hugging you and not attempting something childish like holding your hands instead."
    s "Bring it on."

    scene picnicinspace5
    with dissolve

    m "Please don’t sound that excited or it’s going to be extremely weird for me."
    s "It’s already extremely weird given our relationship."
    m "Yes, yes. We dislike each other immensely."

    "We spend the next hour or so watching stars pass overhead."
    "It could have been more than an hour, though."
    "There’s really no good way of telling considering all of the clocks have stopped and our phones don’t have service."
    "I wonder if the sun would come out if we waited long enough?"
    "Probably not."
    "If time isn’t moving, I highly doubt the sun is."
    "I wouldn’t mind things getting a little warmer for a bit, though."

    m "So, now that this has become somewhat of another tradition for us, albeit one that has only made it to the highly unimpressive total of three-"
    m "Is there anything else you’d like to ask me?"
    s "I’m surprised you’re still giving me the opportunity after revealing that you can’t really...reveal too much without breaking me."
    m "Just giving you the opportunity to ask certain things doesn’t mean I have to answer them truthfully, if even at all."
    s "That doesn’t really convince me that I want to ask you anything."

    scene picnicinspace10
